01 RICO DESIGNS FASHION COTTON MÉTALLISÉ
WEIGHT DK CONTENT 53% cotton, 35% acrylic, 12% metallic yarn BALL 50g/130m HOOK 4mm RRP £3.69
This glittery DK yarn from Rico Designs is a real pleasure to crochet with. It has a really nice substantial feel to it, giving you nice clear and crisp stitches, but also creates a fabric with a lovely bounce and squishiness. The glitter effect is achieved by a single strand of metallic yarn, creating sparkly flecks throughout the chainette structure. There are 15 shades to choose from that complement the sparkles perfectly, incuding gold tones, monochromes, pastels and even a bright pink. Hand wash only. www.rico-design.de/en/home
